1 Saamuʼeel 28
1 Bara sana keessa Filisxeemonni Israaʼeloota loluuf humna isaanii walitti qabatan. Aakiishis Daawitiin, “Akka atii fi namoonni kee na wajjin duuluu qabdan beeki” jedhe.
And it came to pass in those days that the Philistines gathered together their armies for warfare to fight against Israel. And Achish said to David, Know thou assuredly that thou shalt go out with me to the camp, thou and thy men.
2 Daawitis, “Waan garbichi kee hojjechuu dandaʼu ati iyyuu yeroo sana ni argita” jedhe. Aakiish deebisee, “Baayʼee gaarii dha; ani bara jireenya koo guutuu waardiyyaa koo sin godhadha” jedhe.
And David said to Achish, Thereby thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of my person for ever.
3 Bara sana Saamuʼeel duʼee Israaʼeloonni hundi booʼaniifii magaalaa isaa Raamaatti isa awwaalan. Saaʼolis ilaaltotaa fi eker dubbiftoota biyyaa baasee ture.
(Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and they had buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away the necromancers and the soothsayers out of the land.)
4 Filisxeemonni wal gaʼanii Suunamin qubatan; Saaʼol immoo Israaʼeloota hunda walitti qabee Gilboʼaa keessa qubate.
And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa.
5 Saaʼol yeroo qubata Filisxeemotaa argetti ni naʼe; garaan isaas sodaan raafame.
And when Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.
6 Innis Waaqayyoon gaafate; Waaqayyo garuu abjuudhaan yookaan Uriimiidhaan yookaan raajotaan deebii hin kennineef.
And Saul inquired of Jehovah; but Jehovah did not answer him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by prophets.
7 Kana irratti Saaʼol tajaajiltoota isaatiin, “Akka ani dhaqee ishee gaafadhuuf dubartii eker dubbiftuu naaf barbaadaa” jedhe. Isaanis, “Kunoo dubartiin ekeraa dubbiftu tokko Eendoor jirti” jedhan.
Then said Saul to his servants, Seek me a woman that has a spirit of Python, that I may go to her and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman who has a spirit of Python at En-dor.
8 Kanaafuu Saaʼol wayyaa biraa uffatee bifa geeddarachuudhaan tajaajiltoota isaa lama wajjin halkaniin gara dubartii ekeraa dubbiftuu sanaa dhaqe. Innis, “Ekeraa naaf dubbisiitii nama ani maqaa isaa sitti himu ol naaf baasi” jedhe.
And Saul disguised himself, and put on other garments, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night; and he said, I pray thee, divine to me by the spirit of Python, and bring me [him] up whom I shall name to thee.
9 Dubartiin sun garuu, “Ati waan Saaʼol hojjete dhugumaan beekta. Inni ilaaltotaa fi eker dubbiftoota lafa irraa fixeera. Egaa maaliif lubbuu koo kiyyoo duʼaa keessa galchita ree?” jetteen.
And the woman said to him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul has done, how he has cut off the necromancers and the soothsayers out of the land; and why layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
10 Saaʼolis maqaa Waaqayyootiin isheef kakatee, “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, ati waan kanaaf hin adabamtu” jedhe.
And Saul swore unto her by Jehovah, saying, [As] Jehovah liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.
11 Dubartittiin sunis, “Ani eenyun ol siif baasu ree?” jettee gaafatte. Innis, “Saamuʼeelin ol naaf baasi” jedhe.
Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up to thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
12 Dubartiin sunis yommuu Saamuʼeelin argitetti guddiftee iyyite. Saaʼoliin, “Maaliif na gowwoomsite? Ati Saaʼolii dha!” jette.
And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? Even thou art Saul.
13 Mootichis, “Hin sodaatin. Ati maal argaa jirta?” isheen jedhe. Dubartiin sunis, “Ani hafuura lafa keessaa ol baʼaa jiru tokko nan arga” jette.
And the king said to her, Be not afraid; but what didst thou see? And the woman said to Saul, I saw a god ascending out of the earth.
14 Saaʼolis, “Inni maal fakkaata?” jedhee gaafate. Isheenis, “Jaarsi wayyaa dheeraa uffate tokko ol baʼaa jira” jette. Saaʼolis akka namni sun Saamuʼeel taʼe beeke; gad jedhees addaan lafatti gombifamee sagade.
And he said to her, What is his form? And she said, An old man comes up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
15 Saamuʼeelis Saaʼoliin, “Ati maaliif ol na baasuudhaan na jeeqxa?” jedhe. Saaʼolis akkana jedheen, “Ani baayʼee dhiphadheera; Filisxeemonni na lolaa jiru; Waaqnis narraa garagaleera. Inni raajotaan yookaan abjuudhaan deebii naa hin kennu. Kanaafuu akka ati waan ani gochuu qabu natti himtuufan si waammadhe.”
And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul said, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answers me no more, neither by prophets nor by dreams; therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known to me what I shall do.
16 Saamuʼeelis akkana jedhe; “Ati erga Waaqayyo sirraa garagalee diina sitti taʼee maaliif na waamta?
And Samuel said, Why then dost thou inquire of me, seeing Jehovah is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?
17 Waaqayyo waanuma duraan dursee karaa kootiin dubbate sana fiixaan baase. Waaqayyo mootummaa harka kee keessaa butee ollaa kee keessaa nama tokkoof jechuunis Daawitiif kenneera.
And Jehovah has done for himself as he spoke by me; and Jehovah has rent the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it to thy neighbour, to David.
18 Sababii ati Waaqayyoof hin ajajaminiif yookaan dheekkamsa isaa sodaachisaa sana Amaaleqoota irratti hin raawwatiniif Waaqayyo harʼa waan kana sitti fideera.
Because thou didst not hearken to the voice of Jehovah, and didst not execute his fierce anger upon Amalek, therefore has Jehovah done this thing to thee this day.
19 Israaʼelii fi siʼi illee Waaqayyo dabarsee harka Filisxeemotaatti ni kenna; atii fi ilmaan kee bori gara koo dhuftu. Waaqayyos loltoota Israaʼel dabarsee Filisxeemotatti ni kenna.”
And Jehovah will also give Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines; and to-morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me; the army of Israel also will Jehovah give into the hand of the Philistines.
20 Saaʼol waan dubbii Saamuʼeeliin akka malee sodaateef yeruma sana hojjaa isaa guutuudhaan kufe. Inni waan halkanii fi guyyaa sana guutuu homaa hin nyaatiniif humna dhabee ture.
And Saul fell straightway his full length on the earth, and was sore afraid because of the words of Samuel; and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all the day nor all the night.
21 Dubartittiinis yommuu gara Saaʼol dhuftee akka inni akka malee sodaate argitetti akkana jette; “Kunoo tajaajiltuun kee siif ajajamteerti. Ani lubbuu kootti murteessee waan ati jette godheera.
And the woman came to Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said to him, Behold, thy bondmaid has hearkened to thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened to thy words which thou spokest to me.
22 Ammas maaloo tajaajiltuu kee dhagaʼi; ani nyaata xinnoo siifan kenna; atis nyaattee jabaattee karaa kee qajeelta.”
And now, I pray thee, hearken thou also to the voice of thy bondmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength when thou goest on thy way.
23 Inni immoo, “Hin nyaadhu” jedhee dide. Taʼus namoonni isaa dubartittii wajjin isa jajjabeessinaan inni isaan dhagaʼe. Lafaa kaʼees siree irra taaʼe.
But he refused and said, I will not eat. Then his servants, and the woman also, compelled him, and he hearkened to their voice; and he arose from the earth and sat on the bed.
24 Dubartiin sunis dibicha gabbifame tokko manaa qabdi turte; isheenis yeroodhuma sana qalte. Daakuu xinnoo fuutee sukkuumtee buddeena raacitii hin qabne tolchite.
And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread thereof;
25 Isheenis Saaʼolii fi namoota isaatiif dhiʼeessite; isaanis ni nyaatan. Halkanuma sanas achii kaʼanii deeman.
and she brought it near before Saul, and before his servants, and they ate. And they rose up and went away that night.
